Savoury cheesecake recipe


Ingredients

400g pack shallots, peeled

8 garlic cloves, peeled

2 tbsp olive oil

150g raw beetroot, trimmed but not peeled, and cut into 1cm wedges

For the base

125g gluten-free breadcrumbs

70g vegetarian Italian-style hard cheese, finely grated

70g unsalted butter, melted

For the filling

300g full fat soft cheese

300g feta

250g tub lighter mascarpone

4 eggs, beaten

1 lemon, zested

2 spring onions, finely chopped

1 tbsp thyme leaves, plus a few extra thyme sprigs, to serve

 Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Grease and line the base of a 22cm springform cake tin.

Toss the shallots and garlic with half the oil; season. In a different bowl, repeat with the beetroot and remaining oil.

Transfer to a roasting dish, keeping the beetroot separate from the shallots and garlic. Cover with foil and bake for 40 mins, then remove the foil and bake for 10 mins, or until soft and golden. Leave to cool, then chill in the fridge.

In a bowl, combine the crumbs, hard cheese, melted butter and some black pepper. Press into the base of the tin. Bake for 15-20 mins, until golden.

Blitz the filling ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour over the cooked base and return to the oven for 45-50 mins, until just set. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly. Remove and cool, then cover and chill for 5 hrs, or overnight.

When ready to serve, unmould the cheesecake from the tin, top with the roasted vegetables and garnish with a few extra sprigs of thyme.

POEM OF A DOG




I am the one who always waits for you.
Your car has a special sound that I
have imprinted on my senses, I can
recognize it among a thousand.
Your steps have a magic timbre.
Your voice is music to my ears.
If I see your joy, it makes me happy!
Your scent is the best,
Your presence is what moves my
senses.
Your awakening wakes me up.
I watch you sleep and for me you are
my God, I am happy watching over
your sleep.
Your gaze is a ray of light. Your hands
on me have the lightness of peace and
the sublime display of infinite love.
When you go out, I feel a huge
emptiness in my heart.
I wait for you again and again.
I am the one who will wait for you all
my life today, tomorrow and always:
I am your dog
❤️


Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:


1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
